Chris Evans has married! The actor, best known for his role as Captain America in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, married Alba Baptista, a Luso-Brazilian actress, at their home in Massachusetts on Saturday, according to Page Six.

Among those in attendance were Evans’ Marvel co-stars Robert Downey Jr., Chris Hemsworth, and Jeremy Renner. To maintain the ceremony’s secrecy, guests were had to sign NDAs and hand over their phones.

Prior to their wedding, the actor and his now-wife, who starred in the Netflix series Warrior Nun, never disclosed their engagement. They’ve supposedly been dating for almost two years.

In November 2022, a source told People that the “Avengers” actor and the Luso-Brazilian actress had been dating for “over a year.”

“They are in love, and Chris Evans has never been happier,” an insider added, referring to their relationship as “serious” at the time. “His family and friends all adore her.”

Chris Evans and Alba Baptista was pictured holding hands in Central Park just hours after the news broke.

While little is known about the couple’s relationship, Chris Evans has been open about his feelings for Baptista on social media.

Around the time that word of their romance broke, the “Knives Out” star was observed leaving a seductive comment on Baptista’s Instagram post.

Then, in February, the “Captain America: Civil War” actor made the “Warrior Nun” alum his Instagram official after sharing a series of PDA-filled images to his Instagram Story in honour of Valentine’s Day.

Other photos Chris Evans has shared in recent months show the two harvesting apples, skiing, watching the Northern Lights, and even kissing in the car.

While Evans’ remarkable career as a long-running Marvel hero has earned him his own honours, Baptista has an equally spectacular past. The actress speaks five languages, including Portuguese, English, German, French, and Spanish, thanks to her mother, who is a translator.

Baptista is most known for her performance in “Mrs. Harris Goes to Paris” and has received numerous prizes for her work, including the European Shooting Star Award at the Berlin Film Festival and the most Actress Award at the Festival Ibérico de Ciné for her role in the short film “Miami.”

Alba Baptista was also named one of the Top 10 Breakout Stars of 2020 by IMDb.

While Chris Evans and Baptista have kept their romance private, the “Fantastic Four” actor revealed his desire to marry in November.

“That’s absolutely something I want — a wife, kids, and building a family,” he told People at the time. “When you read about most of the best artists, whether it’s actors, painters, or writers, most of them [admit] that it wasn’t the work they made [that they were most proud of], it was the relationships, the families they created, the love they found, and the love they shared.”

“So it’s also something that rings true through my long 41 years,” he concluded. Those are the most significant considerations. I adore the idea of tradition and ritual; I’ve had a lot of that in my life, so I can’t think of anything better.”

A TikTok video that went live earlier this week has led to a Toronto man facing charges of threatening Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and Deputy Prime Minister Chrystia Freeland. Andrew Marshall, 61, is facing two counts of uttering threats.

On Friday afternoon, the Ontario Court of Justice granted him bail with a surety and restrictions after the RCMP charged him on Wednesday.

Following Monday’s upload to TikTok, CBC Toronto conducted its own independent investigation of the video. Marshall vehemently opposes what he perceives as restrictions on free expression in Canada in it.

“I get them taken down all the time— I make videos — or all my comments, that are just simple comments,” Marsh says in the TikTok. “It’s just getting ridiculous, Marshall said.”

According to the CBC more and more people are threatening politicians. The commissioner of the RCMP has hinted that further measures may be necessary to ensure their safety.

In the TikTok video, Marshall explains in great detail how he would brutally assassinate Trudeau and Freeland “if it was up to him.”

Marshall attacks multiple groups throughout the roughly 11-minute TikTok video, including the media, Muslims, migrants, and the police who defend the government.

Among Marshall’s bail terms are the following: he must not communicate with Trudeau or Freeland; he must not use the internet to make social media posts or comments; he must not own any weapons; and he must not apply for a firearms permit.

During the bail hearing, the prosecution provided all of the evidence that is often not published.

Nate Jackson, Marshall’s attorney, stressed his client’s liberties and privileges as a Canadian in an email message.

“He has the right to freedom of speech, the right to reasonable bail and the right to a fair trial,” he said. “Having secured his release from custody, we will continue to defend Mr. Marshall’s Charter rights as his case proceeds.”

Neither Freeland’s nor the prime minister’s office would comment on the allegations, according to the CBC.

Canada’s Unemployment Rate Hits its Highest Point Since 2017

Canada's Unemployment Rate

As the job market remains dismal, the national unemployment rate in Canada has risen to its highest point since 2017. This has led some analysts to question whether the Bank of Canada should be reducing interest rates more quickly.

In spite of a net gain of 22,000 jobs, Statistics Canada reported on Friday that the unemployment rate increased to 6.6% from 6.4% the previous month. The rise was due to an uptick in part-time employment and a fall in full-time employment.

Outside of the pandemic years, the national unemployment rate has reached its highest position since May 2017, according to StatCan.

Rapid population expansion in Canada has increased the overall labour pool, but the country’s unemployment rate has persisted in rising.

The summer job market was especially tough for students, according to StatCan. Not including the pandemic, the unemployment rate among students going back to school in the autumn was 16.7 percent, which is the highest level since 2012.

Canada Unemployment August 2024

Two days after the Bank of Canada dropped interest rates for the third time in a row, reducing borrowing costs to alleviate economic pressure, the most recent reading of the Canadian job market follows suit.

According to TD Bank economist Leslie Preston, who wrote a note on Friday, the central bank is “giving the OK” to keep dropping rates due to the bad August jobs report. Preston predicts two more quarter-point decreases at the remaining decisions this year.

According to CIBC senior economist Andrew Grantham, there are indications that the labour market is quickly contracting more than initially thought, since the unemployment rate is nearly two percentage points greater than the record low of 4.9% in June 2022.

“Due to this, we believe the Bank should be contemplating a quicker rate of reductions in order to bring interest rates to less restrictive levels,” he informed clients in a letter on Friday morning.
